<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Coinman_Ben, post: 632473, member: 9923&quot;]Here&#039;s a picture of a real mercury dime in fair to about good condition:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.sykesvillecoin.com/imagehosting/realcoin.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>yes, I know this may be alittle blurry, but that&#039;s because I took this picture with my scanner.&nbsp; Scanners make pictures of silver coins in bad condition blurry because the light reflects off of the &quot;warn smooth&quot; silver surface very well, but what&#039;s important to note is not the detail or the light flashing off the coin, but the general color of the coin.&nbsp; This is one of the ways you can tell silver apart from lead made to look like tarnished silver.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Now here&#039;s the coin that we&#039;ve been talking about:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.sykesvillecoin.com/imagehosting/genuinefake.JPG" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Look at the top hole, the counterfieter (the person who made the coin rather than the ones selling it), didn&#039;t realize that the center of the planchent can easily be seen from the top hole.&nbsp; And guess what, the center is black.&nbsp; If the coin was made of silver, the center would be a whitish greyish color, but instead it&#039;s completely black.&nbsp; What this tells me is that the coin is a 100% genuine fake.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, when silver tones due to the natural aging process, it gets brown, not black.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
